GFGJewbacca ( @GFGJewbacca@ag.batlord.org ) English18•2 years agoI love that site! I’ve gotten so many books from there. Thanks for making sure more people know about it.
I recommend pairing that with Calibre to manage all the ebooks you get, and to convert them into useable formats for your device(s).
anon_water ( @anon_water@lemmy.ml ) English14•2 years agoThanks I was sad after z-lib went down.
diglett ( @Diglett983@lemmy.pt ) English10•2 years agoYou can still access z-lib via Tor.
rolandtb303 ( @rolandtb303@lemmy.ml ) English3•2 years agothis is why i like onions :)
sharpiemarker ( @Sharpiemarker@feddit.de ) English2•2 years agoCan you recommend a guide?
stonemilker ( @stonemilker@discuss.tchncs.de ) English4•2 years agoHere are the official links: https://zlibrary-global.se/z-access#useful_link_tab. I would recommend just opening the .onion link (last tab on the page) with the Tor Browser in Safe mode and logging in with an anonymous e-mail and random password. Nowadays I’d rather use Anna’s Archive, though, it has most of the Z-Library database indexed anyway
idkman ( @idkman@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English9•2 years agoDamn Anna, you so hot! I’m gonna kiss you!
dumfuq ( @dumfuq@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English7•2 years agoawesome. Thanks for sharing. If & when libgen or zlib is down, I’ll try this out.
TeryVeneno ( @TeryVeneno@lemmy.ml ) English6•2 years agoIf you use sites like this and you have epubs and pdfs to contribute, make sure that you do! I recently uploaded a book I had access to from my school days for others to use through libgen. I had to search really hard to find it when I didn’t have a lot of money for textbooks. I hope what I uploaded helps others. Be sure to contribute!
totallynotfbi ( @totallynotfbi@lemmy.fmhy.ml ) English5•2 years agoFrom what I understand, isn’t this site’s Z-Library content taken from the torrent dumps when the site originally got taken off the clearweb? In that case, won’t it be a bit out-of-date?
stonemilker ( @stonemilker@discuss.tchncs.de ) English4•2 years agoThey index results from five sources and update the main ones (two LibGen forks) monthly. They mirrored the Z-Library database before the website was seized (end of November 2022), indexed the new .onion addresses and haven’t updated the dataset since because they’re waiting for the situation to stabilize in order to figure out a way to regularly fetch new stuff from there too, as far as I know
ellipse ( @ellipse@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English1•2 years agoAlso libgen iirc
Gork ( @Gork@lemmy.ml ) English3•2 years agoI’ve got a book that has been out of print for decades that I’ve painstakingly scanned in page by page. Is there a way I can donate it to the archive?
ancoraunamoka ( @ancoraunamoka@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) English3•2 years agoupload it to archive.org and if you want send me the pdf in DM and I will take care of uploading it to Anna’s archive
bobbyllama ( @bobbyllama@kbin.social ) 3•2 years agodamn, this looks pretty amazing. thanks for sharing!
HowlsSophie ( @HowlsSophie@beehaw.org ) English1•2 years agoChecked this out today, love love love! Alwaya used Zlib and the app still works fine but I can find pretty much anything with Libgen added to the search.
